AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC
445 PM EDT FRI JUN 20 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BREAK DOWN THROUGH THIS EVENING
RESULTING IN WEAKENING HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY IN PLACE OVER THE
AREA. THIS SHOULD YIELD A GREATER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. A TYPICAL WARM SUMMERLIKE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT
WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
430 PM EDT UPDATE...LOW SFC TD/S AND A NOTABLE LOBE OF DNVA HAS KEPT
CONVECTION MINIMAL AND RELATIVELY SHORT LIVED ACROSS CWFA THUS FAR
THIS AFTERNOON. THE STORMS TO THE EAST HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAP INTO
HIGH VALUES OF DCAPE AND PRODUCE SEVERE WINDS...BUT THE REMAINING
CELLS HAVE HAD FAIRLY NARROW AND WEAKER UPDRAFTS. THE NAM12 HAS A
GOOD HANDLE ON THE UPPER VORT FIELD AND WILL FOLLOW IT/S GUIDANCE
WRT TO POPS AND CONVEC INITIATION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HRS. THE
UPSTATE HAS THE LOWEST INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH NEGATIVE ULVL
FORCING...SO POPS WILL BE LOWERED TO ISOL THERE...ACROSS THE SRN NC
FTHILLS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ACROSS THE NC
MTN SPINE WHERE ENHANCED CONVECTION SHOULD MOVE IN AND LIKELY WEAKEN
THROUGH 8 PM.
AS OF 200 PM EDT...CELLS NOW LINING UP ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE AS A
WEAK RIPPLE ROUNDS THE RIDGE OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND
MOVES SEWD ACRS THE AREA. HRRR SEEMS TO HAVE PICKED UP ON THIS
ACTIVITY AND ALLOWS IT TO PROPAGATE SEWD SLIGHTLY BEFORE
DISSIPATING...POSSIBLY DUE TO DOWNSLOPING BY THE NW FLOW ABOVE THE
BOUNDARY LAYER. THE NCEP HIRES WINDOW /NMM/ SUGGESTS THE SAME...BUT
DEVELOPS A NEW ROUND OF CONVECTION IN THE MTNS BEHIND IT WHICH FILLS
IN THE SAME AREA. DEWPOINTS HAVE MIXED OUT SLIGHTLY AS
EXPECTED...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP SBCAPE FROM RISING TO 2000 J OR
MORE PER SPC MESOANALYSIS. NO SEVERE REPORTS HAVE YET BEEN RECEIVED
BUT A FEW STORMS HAVE MET WARNING CRITERIA. I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT
IN OUR EARLIER EXPECTATIONS THAT WE WOULD NOT GET UNSTABLE ENOUGH
FOR LARGE HAIL TO BE MUCH OF A CONCERN...BUT PROFILES REMAIN DRY
ENOUGH FOR DCAPES OF 700-1000 J SUPPORTING A MICROBURST THREAT. CHC
RANGE POPS HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED ACRS MOST OF THE AREA...BUT NOW THE
GREATEST CHANCE APPEARS TO BE DOWNSTREAM OF THE CURRENT ACTIVITY.
SOME MODELS INCLUDING THE NAM TRY TO DEVELOP ANOTHER ROUND OF
CONVECTION AFTER SUNSET...BUT PROFILES HAVE ENOUGH CIN THAT I THINK
THIS IS UNLIKELY IN THE PRESENCE OF SUCH WEAK FORCING. POPS DIMINISH
EAST OF THE MTNS BY LATE EVENING.
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THE OVERNIGHT IS WHETHER ANY ACTIVITY
WILL MOVE INTO OUR AREA FROM THE WEST...AS SUGGESTED BY SOME OF THE
MESO GUIDANCE AND THE 12Z NAM. THE NAM SHOWS AN MCV DEVELOPING OVER
THE OHIO VALLEY LATE THIS AFTN AND PROGRESSING SEWD ACRS KY/TN...THE
ORIGINAL CONVECTION DYING BUT THE MCV KICKING OFF NEW DEVELOPMENT ON
THE WEST SLOPES OF THE MTNS WHICH THEN MOVES INTO NW NC AROUND
DAYBREAK. SO FAR THE NAM DEPICTION OF THE ORIGINATING CONVECTION
SEEMS OVERDONE...SO WILL ONLY GIVE THIS SMALL WEIGHT IN THE FCST.
CLOUD COVER PROGGED BY THE MODELS APPEARS MAINLY TO BE CONVECTIVE
DEBRIS AND IT IS A BIT HARDER TO HEDGE ON THAT.
THE NAM SUGGESTS DEEP RH WILL BE HIGHER ON SATURDAY...PROBABLY SINCE
IT EXPECTS DEBRIS TO COME IN DURING THE MORNING. GFS PROFILES REALLY
DO NOT LOOK TOO MUCH DIFFERENT FROM TODAY...THOUGH SBCAPE IS STILL
LOWER DUE TO SLIGHTLY WEAKER LAPSE RATES. THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT ONLY
IMPORTANT FOR THE POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN INSTABILITY
DUE TO CLOUDIER SKIES...BUT FOR A REDUCTION IN DCAPE AND MITIGATED
SEVERE RISK. SPC FEATURES A 5 PCT AREA JUST TO OUR EAST WHERE WEAK
SHORTWAVE /THE POTENTIAL MCV/ WILL PASS OVER DURING PEAK HEATING. IT
DOES APPEAR THE BEST PRECIP CHANCES OVERALL WILL BE DURING THE
MORNING IN THE NORTHERN FA AND THEN OVER THE I-77 CORRIDOR DURING
THE AFTN WHERE THE BEST BUOYANCY IS SUGGESTED. TEMPS TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW WILL REMAIN A CATEGORY OR SO ABOVE CLIMO.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 200 PM FRIDAY...HEIGHTS WILL GRADUALLY FALL THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK...AS UPPER HIGH CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AND RETROGRADE TOWARDS
THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW WEAK FRONTAL ZONE
TO BACK DOOR ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA BY SUNDAY...POSSIBLY
INTRODUCING SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR. THIS IS NOT EXPECTED TO
ELIMINATE INSTABILITY ENOUGH TO HALT DIURNAL CONVECTION...BUT
COVERAGE OF SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO BE
MORE TYPICAL OF WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT THIS TIME OF YEAR (30-40 POPS
MTNS...20/30 PIEDMONT).
BY MONDAY... SHORT TERM MODELS DEPICT ESTABLISHMENT OF AN E/SE FLOW
IN ASSOCIATION WITH A WEAK INVERTED RIDGE ALONG THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. THIS UPSLOPE FLOW COULD SUPPORT A BIT MORE IN THE WAY OF
DIURNAL CONVECTION BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...SO POPS RETURN TO ABOVE
CLIMO BY THIS TIME. WEAK SHEAR WITH HALFWAY DECENT STEERING FLOW
SHOULD PRECLUDE ANYTHING MORE THAN A TYPICAL EARLY SUMMER PULSE
SEVERE THREAT OR FLASH FLOODING THREAT SUNDAY. HOWEVER...HEAVY
RAINFALL MAY BECOME AN ISSUE MONDAY...AS UPPER FLOW WEAKENS ABOVE
THE LOW LEVEL SOUTHEAST FLOW...POSSIBLY FAVORING ANCHORING OF CELLS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE HIGH TERRAIN. TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN TO
NEAR CLIMO BY MONDAY IN THE RELATIVELY COOL E/SE FLOW
REGIME.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM EDT FRIDAY...THE MEDIUM RANGE FCST PICKS UP AT 00Z ON
TUESDAY WITH WEAK UPPER RIDGING OVER THE SE CONUS AND A LOW
AMPLITUDE UPPER TROF DIGGING DOWN OVER OVER THE DAKOTAS AND
MINNESOTA. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...THE TROF SLOWLY PROPAGATES
EASTWARD...YET IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO MAKE MUCH HEADWAY SOUTHWARD.
THE LONG RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN DIFFERING A FAIR AMOUNT WRT THE
AMPLIFICATION OF THIS TROF...BUT ITS LOOKING LIKE THEY ARE LEANING
MORE TOWARDS STRONGER RIDGING OVER OUR FCST AREA THRU DAY 7. THIS PATTERN
LEAVES OUR AREA UNDER GENERALLY WEAK WEST TO SWLY STEERING FLOW THRU
THE PERIOD. AT THE SFC...THE REGION WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
THE BERMUDA HIGH FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD WITH A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING THE CAROLINAS BY EARLY WED AND WASHING OUT AS IT MOVES
OVER THE CWFA. IN ITS WAKE...WEAK CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE TRIES TO
PUSH SOUTHWARD FROM NEW ENGLAND BUT ITS PROGRESS IS SUPPRESSED BY
THE BERMUDA HIGH. WITH THE COMBINATION OF SLY MOIST FLOW...A WEAKLY
SHEARED ENVIRONMENT AND MODERATE DIURNAL BUOYANCY...WE STILL HAVE A
SOLID CHANCE OF PULSE TYPE CONVECTION ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION EACH
DAY...FAVORING IN THE MTN ZONES OVERALL. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN
FAIRLY STEADY WITH VALUES NEAR NORMAL OR POSSIBLE A FEW DEGREES
WARMER.
&&
.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AT KCLT...SOME QUESTION WHETHER TSRA WILL BE ABLE TO FORM EARLY THIS
AFTN. CLUSTER OF CELLS NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE AT 1745Z IS SLOWLY MOVING
SEWD TOWARD THE FIELD. OUTFLOW FROM THESE CELLS COULD REACH THE
FIELD 20-21Z BUT MIGHT KICK NEW ACTIVITY OFF BEFOREHAND. INCLUDED A
TEMPO MVFR TSRA WHEN CHANCES LOOK GREATEST OVERALL PER MESO MODELS
AND THE TIMING OF A WEAK SHORTWAVE PASSING THRU. BRISK GUSTS
POSSIBLE WITH ANY TSRA. SOME CONVECTIVE DEBRIS FORMING A VFR CIG MAY
LINGER OVERNIGHT IF TSRA CLUSTERS FORM UPSTREAM AS SUGGESTED BY
GUIDANCE. MRNG RESTRICTIONS ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION IF A TSRA
DOES AFFECT THE FIELD THIS AFTN...ESP IF SAID DEBRIS DOES NOT FORM
AND RADIATION IS MAXIMIZED UNDER LIGHT FLOW REGIME. DIURNAL CU WILL
LIKELY FORM A BIT LOWER SATURDAY BUT STILL VFR. WINDS PREVAILING
NWLY INTO SAT MRNG BUT THEN WILL BACK TO A NEAR CROSSWIND AS LEE
TROUGH DEVELOPS.
ELSEWHERE...CONVECTIVE CHANCES THIS AFTN ARE OVERALL NOT AS HIGH AS
THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...BUT STILL WARRANTS A MENTION AT ALL SITES
EXCEPT KAND. BEST CHANCES ARE ACTUALLY EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE IN THE
VICINITY OF A SMALL SHORTWAVE THAT WILL MOVE SEWD ACRS THE PIEDMONT
THIS AFTN. GUSTY WINDS OF 20-25 KT AND BRIEF MVFR VSBY COULD OCCUR
WITH ANY TSRA. EXCEPT IN THE VCNTY OF TSRA...NW TO W WINDS WILL
PREVAIL THOUGH SOME VARIABILITY IS LIKELY GIVEN THE WEAK FLOW. MTN
VALLEY FOG LIKELY AGAIN TONIGHT AND RAINFALL THIS AFTN WILL ENHANCE
THE FOG POTENTIAL AS USUAL. NW TO WNW WINDS PREVAIL SAT WITH LEE
TROUGH TO THE E.
OUTLOOK...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH THE GREATEST COVERAGE ACROSS
THE MTNS. RESTRICTIONS MAY OCCUR DURING TSRA AND ALSO IN THE MTN
VALLEYS EACH MORNING WHERE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG MAY FORM OVER AREAS OF
RECENT RAINFALL.
